Hi folks, I bought a new Elantra GLS with the overdrive automatic and cruise control in March. I just found this site, and have already found it very useful. When I was stationed in Germany in the Army in the early seventies, I owned a 1965 BMW 1600 with which I made full use of the lack of speed limits in Germany at that time. After the first time I took my new Elantra through the corners we have on the two lane rural roads we have here in Hudspeth County, Texas, it was like I was back in Germany with my old BMW. I set the cruise control at 70, and just motor through the corners with my feet crossed, and the car doesn't leave it's own lane. I found out that I can install the 19m.m. sway bar from the Tiburon, along with solid bushings from Moog, or TRW for a little better "feel" in the turns. All this information was on this site in the performance section. If I would have bought a Tiburon, the cornering ability probably would have been there, but I'm retired Army, and my airplanes get first shot at the money, so I wanted a car that cost a little less than the Tiburon. Im already very happy with the performance of the car, and know that it will never be a road racer, but a little better "feel" won't cost much, and it will only make a VERY good car perfect.

Replying to: doohickie (Jun 16, 2006 6:14 pm) Dell City is about 90 miles east of El Paso, Tx. just north of 62-180, and right on the N.M. state line. Farm road 1111 is 42 miles long, and it runs between 62-180, and Sierra Blanca, Tx. which is the County seat. It has a population of several hundered, and sits at the junction of FmRd 1111 and I-10. On a typical day, I can drive from my place, 60 acres with my own 3,700 foot airstrip, to Sierra Blanca and only pass one or two cars in any direction. My place is south of 62-180, 3/4 mile west of it's junction with FmRd 1111. Hope this answers the question. Brie

Although if you're that close to El Paso, it might be too far. But let me know anyway; you could be the first member of our El Paso "chapter"...

I'm been posting for about a week and didn't even introduce myself. Hi everyone. I have a 01 Elantra GT w/ close to 100,000 miles on it and runs just as good as the first day I got it.  I live in Hackensack NJ and use it as my everyday car but I've driven as far down as SC and drove as far up as Canada in it! I'm very sure my next car will be a Hyundai. 2.4L 2007 Elantra GT maybe ?. Keeping my fingers crossed

Replying to: cjgt (Jul 27, 2006 1:46 pm) Why? You only have 100K on your current one, you should be able to get a lot more. Maybe you won't need a new car until 2010. I have a 2000 wagon with close to 140K and I am hoping for 200K, good chance I'll get it.
